Swelling?

brownhairedmom · Nov 21st, 2008, 19:24 PM

For anyone else who ended up with severe swelling in pregnancy, how long did it take to go away? I still have tons and tons of swelling on my stomach, its like big pouches of fluid and it is so, so disgusting. My feet are still bad too. When does it normally start to go away??

Mine was no where near as bad as yours but it took a good week to go down

took about a week for the worst of mine to go-didn't realise how swollen I'd got til I started to deflate!! x

Mine took about a week and I was not as swollen as you. It took my BP a good week or so to go down too and I felt like shit the entire time.

I was looking at a video of the day Hannah was born and never realized how swollen I was either! My hands were huge!

i had lexi 5 weeks ago tomorrow and my swelling on my back still hasnt gone down, look like big love handles! arnica cream takes away the soreness and reduces it abit if you can get some!
